“Nature cannot be controlled. Nature will do as it dictates, with or without our consent. That's just the way the universe works. To assume we have power over the Planet would be to assume we are our own self-made Gods. In the end, though, our species was born to adapt and coexist; not overpower.”

Physical Description:Zephyrus has always have had himself placed in both worlds of looking neither human enough to pass off as one completely, nor be seen as being of the Kriphal race either when it comes to appearance. Too short for his age when compared to the first, but perfectly in the norm with the latter when one has yet to pass the Rite of Adulthood. He has a slim build that is starting to become muscular the more he is working out, and has a fair skin tone. It is difficult for him to get a tan.He has blond hair that has a soft texture to it that he tends to dye from the front to the back of his head to have the tips at some sections carry a black tint instead, giving it a spotted look between the blond hair. The most interesting part about his hair is that when his hair is till just about the length of one and a half to two inches it is naturally spiked, that only with more length can be weighted down to not stand up in every direction that seemingly seems to defy gravity. Currently he keeps his hair short with choppy bangs that hang over his long narrow eyebrows, as that is lower care maintenance then he would have with longer hair.On top of his head he has two feline like ears, rounded at the tips, and long fur spilling out of it when he decides not to cut the hair shorter at the inside of his ears to make it less obvious. It’s usually just kept a little thicker, but short enough to not seemingly spill out of his ears as it is quicker to droop then spike up when it reaches somewhere past the one and a half inch.The shape of his eyes is to define it, sharp. And not just because at the part where his eyelashes grow it has a natural black pigmentation line going on that emphasizes it. While his irises are a radiant violet color, he has round pupils that can contract into slits depending on his mood or when looking into a bright light.At the corner of his eyes where the tear ducts are located, smooth and very fine short black fur forms there and travels in a line almost completely downwards where it veers in the middle slowly a quarter away in a round line that ends before his nostrils begin. It is at the end part a bit thicker in line compared to when it first forms. It is often called out as ‘tear marks’ despites never reaching the corners of his mouth. He has a mostly straight set of teeth with only the canines being slightly pointier, and has just the right gaps between the canines that they easily slot into place without complications when he has his mouth closed or is chewing on food.It can be noted that he has long nimble fingers that are also quite clearly becoming calloused from gardening and working out, or just in general hard labor should someone shake his hand or look upon them more closely. Not too often it happens he forgets to clean under his nails, so its easy to find a little dirt under them from the numerous activities he does.He is sometimes described as handsome, but those occasions only take place if one doesn’t mind some of his more peculiar markings, and they are not just on his face. People either tend to feel like it adds to his aesthetic, are neutral about it, or too strange to look past it.A few other more notable features of him are that should he be undressed one can see at the back of his neck, on his shoulders, down his back, hips and buttocks that there are more markings of smooth very fine short black fur there that could be likened to that of a King Cheetah in how it is formed with each part. His ears and tail, not to mention his face, might be a dead giveaway with it too.As for his tail, it is longer than one would usually see with a pure humanish feline as he is able to wrap it around his waist twice with another half a length left over. His tail is thicker as well, not just because his fur is longer there, but also because it is packed with muscles, and has just enough prehensility with it that he is capable of using it to pick up, carry or drop objects or animals that have a lower percentage in body weight compared to his own in order to not lose his balance while doing so. As well as should there be need for it, he is able to use his tail to wrap it around something and hang for a short while with just tail, keeping his feet and hands free to do other objectives with it. But, if he hangs too long he starts to strain his tail from his own weight and quite possible hurt himself that way. He can even use it almost as a third hand so long as the task needed to accomplish doesn’t require the precision true prehensility would need.

He has his tail to just pick up, carry or drop objects/animals of lightweight, and open simple doors (but not the ones with a knob on them) with his tail. Or gripping tree branches with it to stay securely on a tree when he is climbing. Anything more complex than that one would probably be out of his reach.

Idea: Be vague about the king cheetah markings on how they look aside from the face, and where it is located, edit later with a more specific pattern when Divinus is born and seen as his soul/familiar, the markings of Divinus will be what he'd have as markings to him then.

As for his tail, it is longer than one would usually see with a pure feline humanish as he is able to wrap it around his waist twice with another half a length left over. His tail is thicker as well, not just because his fur is longer there, but also because it is packed with muscles, and has just enough prehensility with it that he is capable of using it to pick up, carry or drop objects or animals of a lightweight with it. Even use it almost as a third hand so long as the task needed to accomplish doesn’t require the precision true prehensility would need.

rewrite tail part

For his age he is still short in height compared to normal humans, but when compared to normal Kriphal of his father's race, its still perfectly in the norms.

Has cat ears and a prehensile tail (Just enough to perform things with it that doesn't require too much difficulty to perform), and patches of black fur markings on face/head/shoulders/back/buttocks/hips of either king Cheetah or just regular Cheetah. Purple eyes, and blond shoulder length hair with the tips at certain points dyed in black.

Mental and/or Social Description:Would have only been Deaf for little over a year at the start (16 years old then) and being kept at home till he is 17 years old, and needs to perform the coming of age ceremony in spring season -despites being deaf.

Traits to describe him?Honest, Hardworking

Goals:

Complete the 'Rite of Adulthood' once he is old enough.

Figure out some way to truly 'hear' once more, a voice that might, or might not be just inside his mind isn't exactly ideal on occasion..

Train himself to be capable of fighting against anyone with either his own fists, weapons or magic should he be lucky enough to develop it.

Tame a creature or two large enough to serve as a mount in combat for both the land, sea and air.

Friendly With:Likes - I can't help but smile when seeing you.Friend - Your my friend, I always like to hang out with you.Best friend - Even if we are not blood related, your like family to me.

I neither like nor dislike you:Recognized - Where have I seen you before?Acquaintance - I know at least a thing or two about you.Indecisive - I don't know if I should like, or dislike you. What a conundrum.

Hostile With:Fearful -While fearing something or someone can be good in keeping you alert, its rather unpleasant, enough so that I'd rather punch whatever or whoever away from me.Dislike - Great, its you again... Can't you see I'm busy?!Hate - You can tell quite easily that I hate you, so why do you feel the need to come near me again? Jerk.Arch Enemy - I've had it with you. Like my ancestor, I will find a opportunity to slip my claws in your back, give it a extra turn near the heart, and make sure you won't come back seeking revenge.

Interested In Something:Flirt - You've certainly grabbed my attention in you, perhaps we'd fit quite well together. Only time will tell.Lust - Interested in a date with me? I'll be sure to make it well worth it.Love - I never thought I'd find someone I could see in being my mate. With how my own parents ended up, I'll be more careful in making sure we'd match for life, and not for a couple of years with strife.

His father is currently the only living relative that he actually cares about. He knows he has from his father’s side multiple grandparents, cousins and nieces, but, he had never met them as they live in a different country across the ocean. And from his mother's side his grandparents and their relatives disowned his mother for ‘marrying’ a non-human. They still live there somewhere in Pethia in a small village he and his father want nothing to do with ever again. As for his relationship with his father, he cares deeply about him and his opinions. He hates the thought of ever disappointing him, and wants to make him proud. As they came to the city with all of his father’s life savings, only enough equipment to survive in the wild for a long period, and a sparse few sets of clothing, his father decided after exchanging the money for the currency the city uses that it is in their best interest to live in the cheaper districts and save up on what they can for any unexpected costs that comes with living in the city. As they had lived till past his eight birthday in a small village with the forest surrounding them and providing for most of the essentials they needed to live there. Currently he works in the Fighting Pit as one of the crew members that prepares and cleans up the pit after each fight, and helps clean up the building. Most of the money he earns goes towards their living expenses and his son’s schooling, the rest is saved up for when they might need to splurge on something. Kriphago became a father around his twenties and as a person could be described as diligent, caring, rational, a quipster when the occasion for it is too good to let it pass, calm, not easy to anger but when he does it tends to be explosive. A traditionalist, as he still practices the part of his culture he was taught by his own parents and passes the knowledge as best as he can along to his son with what he still knows. And most of all when it comes to strangers, friends or family, he would always pick family first when it comes to it if any of them is in danger, and would ensure to the best of his ability to not let it happen in the first place. Not after what happened the first time.As far as his appearance goes, he is seen almost exactly like a feline mammalian King Cheetah with bright orange eyes if it were not for the quills he can raise just past his eyebrows and all the way in a straight line to midway of his back. Something all Kriphal possesses. In his left ear he has on the lowest part a small silver hoop earring with at the bottom part a small tangerine quartz gemstone that matches his eyes socketed in it, showing he passed the Rite to Adulthood in his youth. Above it is another silver hoop earring where at the bottom a small purple amethyst is socketed within with very close on each side a onyx gemstone, traditionally, if he had more mates, there would be multiple different gemstone colors socketed within that leaves space between each other that matches his mates eyes, but he only kept it to one mate. This particular design indicates with how close together the onyx gemstones are towards the amethyst, that he lost his mate in death and he isn’t looking to bind himself towards someone else in mateship. If he had been looking for another mate the second silver hoop would have been gone, with multiple mates the gemstone representing their death mate would have been replaced with merely an onyx stone in its place while keeping the others intact.

Have at the start of roleplay that he is fourteen and working in school, day one just the typical things they learn at school, go home and interact with his father, maybe have them do some training in hand to hand combat as three years before his

and one of the assignments that comes up is job careers and that they should write a assignment about either their future career or the person's job they have chosen their assignment to be about and all that it entails. This would be before he became deaf at sixteen, but already has trouble forming a connection with animals. (ask if 'The Thing' counts for all species pets, or just the one that apply to husbrandy) He'll choose to do a assignment on Alura from the Herbologist's Delight as he has a interest in nature and wants to find out what makes them so different from the common pets. (Need to ask staff if they might be willing to roleplay that part with me)

Worldly PossessionsEven when not mentioned, he always keeps it near himself.

6 - These Draconics are more intelligent than the average human, but their intelligence does not go beyond that of a human. They can learn to speak if taught, and can learn many human skills. They learn more quickly than the average human, and are usually able to do quite a bit of mathematics and sciences - just like a really smart human.

Shoutbox

Morgan: No one knows yet. But I did want to make it clear that the jar itself isn't used for lotine husbandry in any way. c:Jun 5, 2020 4:24:19 GMT -6*

Twilight-Claw: I'm only assuming that it does something similar like a Fungal Beast that infects a Leaf-scatter. (the one with moss and I think it was a pink flower growing on the head.)Jun 5, 2020 4:18:34 GMT -6

Morgan: The lolatic doesn't disappear after one use, and can be reused on the same lotine when it is allowed to 'infect' a lotine- to my knowledge.Jun 5, 2020 1:41:37 GMT -6

Morgan: The only effect/thing that the jar can be used for is to open up into a lolatic. The jar itself has no use in lotine breedings.Jun 5, 2020 1:39:52 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: and the jar is then gone, if with the creature I am more guessing with this the creature doesn't disappear and it has unlimited use.Jun 5, 2020 0:17:55 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: Something else I am wondering about with the Lotine breeding is whether one would use the jar the Lolatic comes from in the breeding, or actually the creature itself. I'm assuming with it if its the jar, then it gives people only one shot in a breeding, Jun 5, 2020 0:16:08 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: Then using it in my rps is definitely just for the sake of rp's and not for anything additional. Jun 5, 2020 0:12:17 GMT -6

Renathan: There's no additional effect for adding a fish to a magical berry in a lotine breeding. Magical Berry is kinda it's own thing. Adding a fish for roleplay value shouldn't hurt, but it has no effect when used on a magical berry lotine breeding.Jun 4, 2020 22:27:14 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: be just for the sake of rp, and perhaps seeing if it might lent a bigger chance to multiple offspring with unique pattern. X3Jun 4, 2020 15:31:01 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: I think your right on it being unlimited use yeah, although.. *cough* I only found out a couple hours after I started writing that I had yet to buy the fish in question so used the one you could get for free as a replacement, it still was meant to mostly Jun 4, 2020 15:30:59 GMT -6

Riku: From what I loosely understand about the fish is that it isn't one-use, whereas the berry is. I feel like there wouldn't be any consequence of 'using' the fish...which I'd think just ooc wouldn't be counted for whatever rolls or whatever it is that it usesJun 3, 2020 14:14:30 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: Thanks for that piece of info Ren! <3 | But would it be allowed for the flavor of the rp if the berry wasn't filling enough for the Lotine? Jun 1, 2020 6:09:21 GMT -6*

Renathan: There is no need to double up on a fish and a magical berry (doesn't change the effect of the berry at all) in a lotine breeding.Jun 1, 2020 6:02:21 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: Does anyone know if it is possible to combine both a magical berry and a fish in a Lotine breeding? Or is you can only choose one of them? (right now writing a Lotine breeding) Jun 1, 2020 5:36:49 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: I am still interested in trading it for a green drake. Jun 1, 2020 0:31:33 GMT -6
